  School of Hydrogeological Modelling

  Groundwater modelling, calibration, uncertainty analysis. SYMPLE proposes a comprehensive, applied, internet-based School of Hydrogeological modelling. By undertaking the courses, participants will acquire practical knowledge of effective model deployment in different decision-making contexts. Differing from other schools, SYMPLE’s mission extends beyond “traditional teaching”. We aim to enhance individual learning to transfer as much experience as possible to the participants. In short, we want participants to become “expert hydrogeological modellers”. For this reason, we have selected a comprehensive set of tools, explained in a modelling-targeted way, and applied to real-world cases that are much more difficult to “solve” than the step-by-step exercises, where everything works fine. The trainers look at the school attendees not as “students”, but as “colleagues” to work and solve problems with. Participants engage directly with the trainers through dedicated Q&A chats and by asking one-on-one discussions. We strongly promote and facilitate interaction, as it is a fundamental knowledge-sharing and growing component. All the lessons are organized in the SYMPLE E-learning platform, based on the open-source Moodle environment and make use of open-source software (MODFLOW&Co., ModelMuse, Flopy, PEST, QGis, PAST, Jupyter Notebooks, etc.).

  Price: 1300 - 2700 euro

  6th International Summer School on Managed Aquifer Recharge – MARISS

  Aquifer/groundwater recharge, riverbank filtration. In continuation to the previous international summer schools on managed aquifer recharge in Dresden (MARISS), the "6th International Summer School on Managed Aquifer Recharge" will be organised in Dresden, Germany, from 01 to 06 September 2025, for which applications to participate can be submitted till at least 15 June 2025. Participants will be eligible for 2 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System).
  Post-graduate students/researchers (master students, PhD/post-doc researchers), young and also experienced professionals worldwide are welcome to apply to participate in MARISS. Applicants must have at least a graduate (bachelor) degree in environmental engineering, environmental sciences, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, geosciences, groundwater and water resources management, and water sciences. As the medium of instruction is English, applicants are expected to have advanced knowledge of the language. There is an emphasis on participation from certain Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries this year (2025) and citizens from these countries are encouraged to apply (details on https://www.htw-dresden.de/mariss).

  Price: Fee-exemption for certain candidates (details on course web-page)

  Organised by University of Applied Sciences Dresden (HTW Dresden) in collaboration with Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden) and regional water supply company Fernwasserversorgung Elbaue-Ostharz GmbH, Torgau.

  The PEST course Application & Theory 2025

  Groundwater Modeling. This short course is intended to help those who use a graphical user interface (GUI) for model setup, to gain familiarity with some of the principles and practicalities of calibration and uncertainty analysis. It is designed to help you get the most out of this interface when using PEST/PEST++. The course also shows how a modeler can gain access to extra inversion and uncertainty analysis functionality by going beyond the interface when required. Finally, it provides an overview of new data assimilation and uncertainty analysis technologies that will have a profound effect on the way in which decision-support modelling is undertaken, but that are actually quite easy to implement.
  
  The course is informal. We have a plan for what we want to cover. However, in times such as these when technology is changing fast, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and confused. So, some of what we talk about, and how we talk about it, will be governed by you, the audience. Feel free to come along and discuss your problems. We will do our best to meet you where you are at!.

  Price: 800€
